Marshall Dry Goods Snuggle flannel
I'm thinking of buying a bolt of this in white or natural to use for backings, but I'm a little hesitant because I had a bad experience with flannel (from a LQS.) I prewashed it before I used it and it seemed okay, but it pilled and shredded something awful the first time I washed the quilt. However, some other flannel in the same quilt that I got at JoAnn's was fine. Go figure.
I've started doing some hand-dying and I'd love to make a flannel quilt with my own hand-dyed fabric. I was wondering if anyone has used this and can tell me how it holds up, and if it pills or not.

I have purchased and used 3 bolts of Marshall's Snuggle Flannel, for the backings in charity quilts for the CINC cases here in my county. They washed up beautifully. I will purchase it again. It did not shrink very much at all. I prewashed before cutting and washed the quilts before giving. As far as dying the flannel, I have no clue about that.
